A judge on Tuesday denied an emergency motion to stop President Donald Trump's campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday.
The decision came after local lawyers asked the court to block the event unless organizers agreed to take steps to adhere to the administration's own social distancing recommendations to limit the spread of coronavirus. Paul DeMuro, one of the attorneys on the lawsuit trying to block the rally, said that -- despite the emergency motion to block the rally being denied -- the case will head to the state Supreme Court.
"The lawsuit is still intact and moving forward," DeMuro told CNN. "We will continue to fight in the Oklahoma Supreme Court."

"As currently planned, the Rally will endanger not only the health of the guests in attendance, but the entire Tulsa community and any community to which the guests may afterward travel. If ASM Global moves forward with the Rally without adequate review, planning, training, protective equipment, and safeguards, cases of COVID-19and the unavoidable attendant deathswill rise," the petition states.
DeMuro told CNN that the decision to sue to stop the rally was not political.

18 Jun: ANSA: WHO official basts Naples Cup-win celebrations
ROME - A World Health Organization (WHO) official has blasted the celebrations that took place on the streets of Naples after Napoli beat Juventus on Wednesday in the Italian Cup
Big crowds of fans went out to celebrate with little regard for the respect of social distancing and other rules to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Dr Ranieri Guerra, the WHO’s Assistant Director-General for Strategic Initiatives, said the fans’ behaviour was “reckless”...

8 Jun: NPR: The Coronavirus Crisis: Even In A Pandemic, WHO Believes That Public Protests Are Important
by Pien Huang & Allison Aubrey
In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the World Health Organization took time at its daily press conference to address another pressing issue: the wave of protests against police violence and racial injustice...
The protests are now spreading around the world to Europe, Africa and other regions.
“WHO fully supports equality and the global movement against racism. We reject discrimination of all kinds,” said WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on June 8...

Well, one of the Justice Brothers at least. (a Limbaugh term)
State supreme according to the article.
And in this day and age, the USSC does whatever it pleases, as do all Federal judges. Anyone of which can and may still issue an illegal ruling that the rally must not proceed.
We are in a post constitutional and legal era. We are now in a dictatorship of the oligarchy (or proletariat if you prefer)
Please, God, let them be mask-less.
Rather, “please God, give them wisdom”. It’s not too wise to go inside a building, with a huge crowd, and NOT wear a mask right now. Covid19 numbers have gone up since we (in Oklahoma) have had loosened restrictions. Why advise people NOT to wear a mask, just so you can say the government’s not going to tell you what to do? We’re close to Tulsa, but we’re both over 65, with underlying health problems that prevent us from attending, but we’d wear masks if we WERE to attend, even without the health and age concerns, because we’ve got COMMON SENSE.
That is why the rally was held in deep red state Oklahoma. I doubt if the State Supreme Court will even hear it, let alone grant an injunction.
It’s always great when the Dems through their money away though.
“were both over 65, with underlying health problems that prevent us from attending, but wed wear masks if we WERE to attend, even without the health and age concerns, because weve got COMMON SENSE.”
We’re both over 70, with histories of pneumonia and other things — small-ish things — but things. We would not wear masks. If masks were mandatory, we wouldn’t attend.
I’m not a Stinkastan Fauci-following drone. Everybody dies. It’s always something. When I leave here, I don’t want family to be ashamed of me croaking in my fashion mask of novelty “Hello Kitty” quilting fabric.
And I definitely agree: “Please, God, give EVERYBODY wisdom. And please protect all who attend.”
Oh, I’ll just bet he does! Still... a Trump Rally full of China-like freaks? Just eeewwww.
Another day, same old fear mongering sh*t.
Don't you ever get tired of this nonsense?
First of all positives have gone up all over the country because over 22 million have been tested (and counting) versus less than a million tests just a few weeks ago.
Second of all the percentage of positives from new tests keeps going DOWN.
Thirdly, most people who test postive are totally asymptomatic. Perfectly healthy with no signs of sickness whatsoever.
And fourthly most masks don't even work. Almost all the masks people wear will NOT stop the the virus from getting through. The N95 masks are much better but most people simply don't have those.
The masks you see people wearing in the streets are garbage. They don't work and they block your oxygen intake and accumulate bacteria.
No only No but Hell No. No masks, ever.
God Bless.
We wear N95 type masks because it’s common sense, not because the Fauci worm said to. God expects us to use wisdom.
